TI  - Brief report: primary human herpesvirus 6 infection in a patient following liver 
      transplantation from a seropositive donor.
PG  - 69-72
AB  - A virus, isolated from peripheral blood lymphocytes of a patient 23 days after 
      liver transplantation, was identified by negative contrast and thin-section 
      electron microscopy, DNA hybridisation, and immunofluorescence as human 
      herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6). The patient was seronegative for antibodies to HHV-6 
      before receiving the liver from a seropositive donor. Seroconversion for IgM and 
      IgG antibodies occurred at the same time as the viraemia, indicating a primary 
      response to HHV-6 infection that was probably acquired from the donor liver. The 
      relationship of the infection to the patient's subsequent disease episodes is 
      discussed.
